Böcker i Slayers-serien

Proven appeal of subject: The anime has been in print in English almost non-stop for 20 years across multiple formats. The novel series has seen a revival in Japan, with three new novels being added in the recent years including a 30th anniversary edition. Genre staying power: A fantasy series steeped in humor and sword-and-sorcery tradition, Slayers combines action with classic character sand goofy gags to keep the reader coming back for more. The serialised storytelling also encourages returning for the next volume! Artwork: Multiple full-page illustrations (4 color and approx. 10 black-and-white per volume) add extra value and provide crossover appeal with the manga buying audience.

The quest for a magic sword continues! Gourry and I try our luck in Solaria, where an innocent bit of weapons-based extortion leads to a full-on cloak-and-dagger conspiracy. Hoo boy. Next up, we hit the lake town of Crimson after the council puts out an all call for available sorcerers. See, they quietly want to quash a little insurrection that a local sorcerers' council leader started. (It's bad for business and all.) But when Gourry and I arrive on the scene, the true tragedy afoot isn't quite what we were led to believe. Needless to say, I've just about had it with all this shadowy intrigue. Frankly, I could go the rest of my life without ever seeing another demon again too. So, wait... what the heck are we doing back in Gyria City now?!
